Hand-Knotted Wool Bijar Persian Rug, 265 × 370 cm

Overview

Origin Iran, format 265 × 370 cm — a Bijar made entirely by hand. That is roughly 9.81 m² of floor, about 8.7' × 12.1'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

The stated colourway is red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
